Our Hands are Tied

Prologue Vol. 3

***~context~: Friday morning***

Louis woke up, he was early this time.

He decided to make the most of it and took a long shower.

***

"Louis! Louis Tomlinson!"

It was Mr. Hemsworth- and Louis realised with a jolt it was Friday- the day he had to me handcuffed to Styles. 

He paused in the corridor and turned around to face the teacher.

"A word if you please"

"Sure, whatever" any remnants of a good mood evaporated.

"I'm sure you are aware of what day it is today- and I'd like to make one thing abundantly clear. Over the course of the next fourteen weeks-"

"FOURTEEN?"

"Yes, Mr. Tomlinson, fourteen. You would know this if you didn't keep interrupting me on Monday- and no, Mr. Styles does not know, it is your job to tell him as you were the one who refrained him from knowing in the first place. As I was saying, Over the course of the next fourteen weeks, you will be graded- meaning if you do not show any improvement with this childish feud between you and Mr. Styles you see failing. Do I make myself abundantly clear?"

"Yes sir. Can I ask a question?"

"Considering you just did but yes, go on"

"You said on Monday it was one week"

"Ah, but I didn't, you see Louis- I began to tell you that during the first week- you will be on a trial run- so we know that you won't kill each other- too much paper work to deal with if you kill each other. I was then going to tell you, before you interrupted and rudely left, that it would all in all amount to ninety five days, or fourteen weeks- the project will immediately be terminated if any problems ensue this week, minor or otherwise. Another thing- today does not count as the start. It officially starts tomorrow. I also didn't get to tell you the consolation prize- did I?"

"Consolation prize?"

"Evidently not. The consolation is 10,000 pounds each. Only if you complete this project without and major complications or injuries, fatal or otherwise"

Louis was suddenly alot more open to the idea- 10K was a game changer.

"Ok sir"

"Good- Now I must be off- a few minor things before the project begins to deal with. Goodbye, Louis- and make sure Mr. Styles is aware of the time period."

"Ok- bye sir"

And with that, Mr. Hemsworth hurried down the hallway.

He quickly walked towards his Locker and pulled out his phone from his pocket- checking the time.

He turned around after grabbing the necessary books.

Styles was walking towards him- obviously just walking to his locker. But he decided to take advantage of that and pulled him into the nearest bathroom.

Styles' eyes widened in shock and was so taken aback he didn't react until Louis slammed him against the bathroom wall.

"Get off me you bitch!"

"No! I need to talk to you"

"Go ahead then- next time avoid the fucking chokehold"

Louis didn't let go and spoke to him in a low growl-

"Look, Styles, we, it turns out are going to be handcuffed for 14 weeks- for a grade and 10K- so we both need to suck it up"

"Says the one threatening me."

"So you and I need to suck it up and pretend to get along- you read me?"

"Yea- I figured out that we  had to pretend to get along" realisation suddenly dawned on his face "what do you mean fourteen weeks?"

Louis explained everything Mr. Hemsworth told him- keeping a grip on Styles as he did so.

"Got it now?"

"Yea- LET THE FUCK GO OF ME"

Louis let go, before storming out of the bathroom.

***

"So class!" It was psychology class- Mr. Hemsworth- and he was about to handcuff the two together. "As you probably realised- Mr. Styles and Tomlinson didn't get an exam on Monday,"

A few members of the class nodded, murmuring.

"That is because they are doing an independent project, come here boys."

The class stared at each other in shock, eyes widening- muttering to each other about the well known feud.

Louis got up heavily and made his way to the front. Standing next to Styles and glaring at the boy as he did so.

Mr. Hemsworth rummaged around in his drawer and pulled out a pair of handcuffs. The class' eyes widened even more, somehow.

"Boys, you come over here."

They both walked to the front of the desk, glaring at each other as they did so. Louis couldn't help but catch Niall's eye, who was staring with his mouth open at the two.

"Wrists"

Louis held out his left hand, meaning Styles' had to go around the other side of him and hold out his right. Mr. Hemsworth placed the handcuffs on Louis' wrist, securing it and then attaching it to Styles' tugging slightly to check if they were locked properly, before holding up the key and placing it in his pocket.

"Right- since you two obviously have to sit together- Harry, you grab your stuff and move to where Louis sit- Eleanor Calder, you move to Harry's old seat beside Taylor."

The two did as he said, Louis impatiently tugged Styles' across the room, letting the boy grab his stuff, before pulling him impatiently to his seat. 

Eleanor looked annoyed that she was being moved, but got up before glaring at Styles' and as she was walking past him and smiling.

They both sat down, Louis on the inside seat. Mr. Hemsworth began the lesson as usual, instructing them to take notes.

Styles' blinked at their hands before whispering to Louis "I'm right handed- how am I supposed to write like this?"

"I dunno- why is it my problem?" He hissed back

"Well, let me think- my right hand is handcuffed to you. That means I can't write with my right hand without dragging your arm about the place."

"Ok? I'll take notes and we'll photo copy if it means so much to you."

"You better take it in exact detail."

"Be grateful I'm even taking notes."

"You don't take notes?"

Louis rolled his eyes- Styles was such a nerd 

"No. Now shut up."

Styles rolled his eyes before slumping in his seat, dragging Louis' arm with him.

It was going a long fourteen weeks.

Woo-hoo
